Canucks vs Jets Key Stats
The Nucks have done decently to score 128 goals this season but could not scale it up further and it has hampered the team. Bo Horvat and Elias Pettersson have partnered well to score over 44 goals and assisted in 44 more. The team will look up to them in the upcoming game too and will expect other players to help the team by improving their contributions.
Defensively, they have been poor and have nothing to celebrate. Conceding almost 3.9 goals per game is a big negative and to get better returns, they have to bring impactful changes in their defensive setup.
The Jets on offense has done decently this season with the likes of Pierre-Luc Dubois and Mark Scheifele maintaining the flow of goals intact. The offense has shown improvements and will play a key role in the team's growth in the upcoming challenges.
The defense has conceded 2.55 goals per game on average this season and should be credited for the success of the team. The goaltenders with a save percentage of over 0.920 have maintained a solid defensive unit and will have a big responsibility in the games to come, of maintaining the same level of consistency.
Canucks vs Jets Betting Prediction
The game is slightly in favor of the Jets with the performances they have delivered as a team and coming into the game with winning momentum. They have been solid at home and have a positive record against big opponents, making them comfortable for the challenge
Meanwhile, the inconsistency is a big negative for the Nucks as they come into the game under stressful conditions. They have failed to perform in Winnipeg, which also takes away the comfort of away wins.
We can expect the Jets to continue their winning march with similar gameplay and as a solid team, they have everything to make it possible.
Prediction: Take, Jets, ML(-190)
